Anti-Cimex: Criminal Trap (1986)

Anti-Cimex were a Swedish hardcore punk band that got together in the early 1980s. They were one of the first bands to define Scandinavian D-beat. The second 7" they released, Raped Ass, is considered to be a genre defining Scandinavian D-beat record. In 1986 they released a mini-Lp (12") called "Criminal Trap". (This 12" is also included as a bonus on the "Absolut Country of Sweden" CD). At this time Jocke had got tired of the band and they asked Cliff if he wanted to join the band but he said no, and the rest of the band members got tired of the problems and it resulted in the band splitting up.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti_Cimex
